THE WORLD IN PARADOX
FIELDS OF SENSE ONTOLOGY AND THE OUTLINES OF “PARADOXISM"
Keywords:
Markus Gabriel, Fields of Sense Ontology, Metaphysical Reductionism, ParadoxAbstract
Markus Gabriel’s Fields Of Sense Ontology (FOS) is a theory molded to uphold pluralism in its most radical form. If the project succeeds, it seems that a lot of benefits would follow for ontology in general. One example is the solution it provides for “negative existentials”. Another one is the reality attributed to fictional objects through FOS’s pluralistic base. Be that as it may, his project is threatened by a series of criticisms directed at it. Among those, some appear to follow the same line: Gabriel seems to commit himself to the entity that is the heart of a strong reductionist system, that is, “the world”. As Meillassoux, Priest and Moss argue, Gabriel seems, in one way or another, to be a reductionist “despite itself”. In our reading this problem can be solved if we reorientate the place of the “non-contradiction principle” in Gabriel’s system. Our endeavor will lead us, finally, to a deviant form of FOS that places the paradox at the center of the system. This form of FOS we call “paradoxism” which rellies in the “paradox of paradox” as its foundation (and lack of it).
